NCAA Wrestling Championships 2025 Day 2 Results, Brackets

The 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships are in full swing, and we’ve reached an exciting point in the tournament: the blood rounds and the semifinals.

The action has been intense, with upsets, impressive pins, and standout performances keeping fans hooked.

Earlier in the day, in the quarterfinals, we saw Carter Starocci secure his spot as a five-time All-American, while top-ranked 125-pounder Luke Lilledahl fell to Sheldon Seymour in a shocking upset. Troy Spratley’s impressive victory over No. 2 Matt Ramos also shook the 125lbs bracket.

Wrestliers like Brock Hardy, AJ Ferrari, and Mitchell Mesenbrink cotninue their dominant paths, while athletes like Joey Blaze and Christopher Minto are riding Cinderella stories. 

The night should be capped off with a battle of the heavyweights, as Greg Kerkvliet and Wyatt Hendrickson meet after dominant paths to the semifinals. The winner likely gets a chance to take on Gable Steveson in the 285lbs final. 

Recap the live updates, brackets, results, and highlights from the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
